The lyrics of the song seem to be highly repetitive and cryptic at first glance. They constantly speak about the heart not feeling, seeing, or knowing anything until it falls and the singer falls along with it and then knows. This could be interpreted as the singer being numb to emotions until something drastic happens that causes them to finally feel something. The repetition of the lyrics suggests a cyclic nature to the singer's emotions, which keeps restarting and falling each time.
The latter half of the song speaks of a place called "home" where the singer seems to be playing a game and being in love, but things are always different. This could indicate that the singer is searching for a sense of belonging and meaning, but it always seems to elude them.
Overall, the lyrics of "Genesis" seem to revolve around the theme of emotional numbness and longing, with a suggestion that there may be some hope for the singer to finally feel something and find a sense of home.
